Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Tear the leafy part of the kale away from its rib and cut into bite-size pieces. Rinse it well and dry in a salad spinner. Discard the ribs. Transfer the kale to a mixing bowl and toss it with the olive oil.

Spread the kale in a single layer on the baking sheet. Season it lightly with salt. Bake for 15 minutes, or until crispy.
